Plot Plan saving, Preferences, Specsheets, Liberty Pumps

Due to problems with saving plot plans to the database, the plot plans are now saved directly to disk, without being stored in the database. Their file names include the design serial number or use a temporary ID until a serial number is assigned. Also, plot plans have a version number assigned if you save the plot plan more than once so that you never overwrite a plot plan. A keyboard shortcut ([ctrl][s]) has been added to facilitate saving a version when you want. You can use a previous plot plan for a new system using the File|Load menu item in the Plot Plan Editor.

There have been some issues reported regarding preferences not working as expected. The problem appeared to be due to letting each persona have its own preferences and to use the default persona’s preference when a named persona didn’t have a preference set. I think the issue is resolved now with today’s release (2011.01.02).

Due to changes from the legacy version of Sewers, specsheets were not being included in the designs. They are now.

Liberty FL100, FL150, and FL200 series pumps have been added to the pumps database.
